Coty Beats Expectations, Pursues Strategic Restructuring

Coty reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 results, returning to reported revenue growth with sales of $1.27 billion while organic revenue edged down about 1%. The company significantly improved operating cash flow (≈$538M) and free cash flow ($348M) and continued to reduce financial liabilities. Coty highlighted a new strategic program, "Coty.Curated," to simplify the organisation, focus on core brands, cut SKUs and steer marketing spend (including improving visibility on AI platforms). Coty returned the Gucci-Beauty licence to Kering and previously sold its remaining Wella stake; proceeds (including up to $400M from the Gucci licence) are earmarked for debt reduction and core investments. Management called FY2027 a transition year with a cautious Q1 outlook and expects recovery from 2028.

•Coty reported fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of $1.27 billion (reported growth of ~1%).
•Organic revenues declined by approximately 1% in the fourth quarter.
•Operating cash flow for the full year rose to around $538 million.

OpenAI disbands AI safety crisis team

OpenAI has dissolved its recently created 'Head of Preparedness' crisis team for AI safety and redistributed its staff across other teams, according to a Financial Times report citing insiders. Dylan Scandinaro, formerly Head of Preparedness, was moved to a group researching self-improving AI systems and their security implications. The reorganization follows earlier departures of senior safety and ethics leaders (including Jan Leike, Chloé Bakalar, and Johannes Heidecke) and has prompted internal concerns about whether OpenAI is maintaining sufficient focus on model safety. Some sources suggest the changes could be preparatory steps ahead of a potential IPO, which OpenAI had originally targeted for 2026 but may now be postponed to 2027. The story is based on anonymous insider accounts reported by the Financial Times.

•OpenAI dissolved its 'Head of Preparedness' AI safety team and reassigned the staff to other parts of the company.
•Dylan Scandinaro, formerly Head of Preparedness, was moved to a team studying self-improving AI systems and related security implications.

Amazon layoffs deepen amid AI-driven restructuring

Amazon conducted multiple large rounds of layoffs in 2026, including roughly 16,000 employees in late January and earlier cuts, part of the company’s broader downsizing that totals more than 57,000 roles since 2022. Former employees interviewed described difficulty finding work in a crowded job market reshaped by AI, with many roles automated or reallocated to fund AI investments. Consulting firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported the tech sector has cut about 140,000 U.S. jobs this year and cited AI as a factor in roughly 23% of job-cut announcements. Amazon says cuts were intended to reduce bureaucracy and accelerate work, and that it continues to hire in strategic areas while supporting impacted employees.

•Roughly 16,000 employees were cut in Amazon’s mass layoffs in late January 2026.
•Amazon has laid off more than 57,000 staffers since 2022, about 16% of its corporate workforce.
•The tech sector has laid off roughly 140,000 U.S. employees so far in 2026, per Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
